This tutorial from Tactplan explains how to duplicate tasks within the project management software, an efficient feature for quickly replicating task settings and dependencies across multiple project elements.
Key points include:
- Initiating Task Duplication: To duplicate a task, select the task you want to replicate. This feature is handy for tasks that occur frequently or have similar parameters in different parts of the project.
- Duplication Options: When duplicating a task, there are options to carry over existing dependencies to the new duplicate. You can choose to place the duplicated task before, after, or concurrently with the original task depending on the project's timeline needs.
- Customizing Duplicates: After duplication, you can modify the details of the new task. This allows for customization and adjustment of the duplicate to suit specific requirements of the new context or location in which it is placed.
This capability is particularly useful for project managers who need to create multiple similar tasks across various stages or locations of a project, enabling them to maintain consistency while efficiently managing project timelines.
